About This Event
Union Pool hosts a three-act bill featuring BASIC, Victor Vieira-Branco’s Bark Culture and guitarist Loren Connors. BASIC draws on synth-pop and indie-pop currents—represented in Joe Keery’s Djo single "Basic Being Basic"—with lyrics that examine human posturing and online decisions. Loren Connors brings his long-standing practice of abstract, experimental blues and folk, having recorded under multiple names.
